A one-day conference for Healthcare Providers, Healthtechs / Corporates, and academics in the health sector, focusing on cyber security
The Cybersecurity for Health conference will address cybersecurity challenges, upcoming legislation, and explore best-practise and cutting-edge solutions tailored to the healthcare sector.
It is relevant for:
Healthtech innovators, Cyber Security Vendors, Technology companies, Medtech, Pharma and Life Science companies, Hospital IT departments, and healthcare administrators.
Policy makers, investors, and academic researchers in health technology and cybersecurity.
The EU Commission (Jan’ 2025) launched a “comprehensive action plan to improve the cybersecurity of hospitals and healthcare providers across the EU. As healthcare systems increasingly become targets of cyber and ransomware attacks, this plan aims to strengthen the security of our health systems. In 2023 alone, EU countries reported 309 significant cybersecurity incidents targeting the healthcare sector – more than any other critical sector. As healthcare providers increasingly use digital health records, the risk of data-related threats continues to rise.”
A Cyber Ireland article noted “The last three years have seen some really worrying milestones. The costs of a data breach in the healthcare industry continue to rise. In 2023, the average cost reached $10.93 million. The frequency is also increasing, with one report noting a 60% increase in phishing attacks between 2022 and 2023, with healthcare being the primary target of these attempts.”
The conference is organised by the Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster (DkIT) and Cyber Ireland Cluster (MTU), with collaboration from HIRANI, and Trend AI.
